I have about two dozen finished short stories I want to release. Here's the first (originally written in 2005). Time Jump: Apocalypse.

. . . and for only 99cents, its hard to go wrong. What's the story about? Glad you asked:

Jack Henshaw and the millions left alive on Earth are desperately
looking towards a time jumper to help them elude the cataclysmic
disasters wreaking havoc across the globe. If a jump is successful,
those seeking refuge might maintain some semblance of civilization. The
problem is, there are only two men genetically able to handle the
extremes of a time jump . . . and one of them has been lost. Henshaw,
the head of NASA's JUMP program must race time and disasters to unravel
the mystery of the first jumper's disappearance, all the while
struggling to find the answers to his own urgent question: What is
causing Earth to destruct . . . and why has his wife vanished without a
trace?

January was a great month. I finished the first draft of my unnamed novel in The Boy and the Beast series. This sizeable beastie of a novel might get split into two if it keeps growing in the second draft.

I missed only one writing day this month. Not bad. It was a month of editing. And I broke an early morning wake time record when I arose at 2:44am on Jan 17th.

The gods have gifted Winter as a Seer, but her brother, Aven
comes to despise her visions when they fail to prevent the deaths of their
parents and the girl he loves. When brother and sister are thrown from their
medieval world into a high-tech order of peacekeepers, Aven must choose whether
or not to follow Winter in her blind devotion to the gods, while Winter must
face her newest vision and make a choice: trust the mysterious gods who’ve
given her power, or forsake them, and try to save her brother from the
gruesome death she’s foreseen.

#2

Winter is empowered, having been gifted by the gods, but
her brother, Aven, comes to despise her divine visions when they fail to
prevent the deaths of their parents and the girl he loves. Winter embraces the violent
destiny promised her by the gods, but Aven must choose whether or not to follow
the sister he loves down that dark road—even when she is more faithful to the
gods he hates than to him. But when questions regarding the gods mount in
Winter’s mind, she must decide if she will remain devoted to her high calling—especially in the face of her newest vision: the gruesome death of her brother.

#3 (a bit of a combo)

Winter treasures that she was chosen to be god-touched, but
her brother, Aven comes to despise her divine visions when they fail to prevent
the deaths of their parents and the girl he loves. Winter embraces the violent
destiny promised her by the gods, and Aven must choose whether or not to follow
the sister he loves down that dark road—even when she is more faithful to the
gods he hates than to him. But when brother and sister are thrown from their
medieval world into a high-tech order of peacekeepers, Winter must decide if
she will remain devoted to her high calling and ignore the fresh questions
surrounding her cruel foresight, including the impending horror of her newest
vision: the gruesome death of her brother.

#4 (simple is better) Aven
desires a simple, farmers life, but his sister, Winter, is a Seer, and
wants to fulfill the high destiny of the gods. Will Aven risk his life
and dreams to follow Winter down the violent path set before her? And
will Winter keep faith if she cannot save Aven from the gruesome death
she’s forseen?
